  <Tab title="🚀 Quickstart">
    <Steps>
      <Step title="Create an integration">
        In Nango ([free signup](https://app.nango.dev)), go to [Integrations](https://app.nango.dev/dev/integrations) -> _Configure New Integration_ -> _Snapchat_. Nango doesn't provide a test OAuth app for Snapchat yet. You’ll need to set up your own by following these [instructions](#🧑%E2%80%8D💻-oauth-app-setup). After that, make sure to add the OAuth client ID, secret, and scopes in the integration settings in Nango.
      </Step>
      <Step title="Authorize Snapchat">
        Go to [Connections](https://app.nango.dev/dev/connections) -> _Add Test Connection_ -> _Authorize_, then log in to Snapchat. Later, you'll let your users do the same directly from your app.
      </Step>
      <Step title="Call the Snapchat API">
        Let's make your first request to the Snapchat API (fetch your account profile). Replace the placeholders below with your [secret key](https://app.nango.dev/dev/environment-settings), [integration ID](https://app.nango.dev/dev/integrations), and [connection ID](https://app.nango.dev/dev/connections):
        <Tabs>
            <Tab title="cURL">
                ```bash
                curl "https://api.nango.dev/proxy/v1/me" \
                  -H "Authorization: Bearer <NANGO-SECRET-KEY>" \
                  -H "Provider-Config-Key: <INTEGRATION-ID>" \
                  -H "Connection-Id: <CONNECTION-ID>"
                ```
            </Tab>

            <Tab title="Node">

            Install Nango's backend SDK with `npm i @nangohq/node`. Then run:

            ```typescript
            import { Nango } from '@nangohq/node';

            const nango = new Nango({ secretKey: '<NANGO-SECRET-KEY>' });

            const res = await nango.get({
                endpoint: '/v1/me',
                providerConfigKey: '<INTEGRATION-ID>',
                connectionId: '<CONNECTION-ID>'
            });

            console.log(JSON.stringify(res.data, null, 2));
            ```
            </Tab>

        </Tabs>

        Or fetch credentials dynamically via the [Node SDK](/reference/sdks/node#get-a-connection-with-credentials) or [API](/reference/api/connection/get).

      </Step>
    </Steps>

    ✅ You're connected! Check the [Logs](https://app.nango.dev/dev/logs) tab in Nango to inspect requests.

    <Tip>
    Next step: [Embed the auth flow](/getting-started/quickstart/embed-in-your-app) in your app to let your users connect their Snapchat accounts.

  <Tab title="🧑‍💻 OAuth app setup">
    <Steps>
      <Step title="Create a Snapchat Business account">
        If you don’t already have one, sign up for a [Snapchat Business account](https://business.snapchat.com/).
      </Step>
      <Step title="Create a new Snap Kit OAuth app">
        1. Go to your [Business portal](https://business.snapchat.com/), then select **Business Details**.
        2. Click **+ OAuth App**.
        3. Fill in all the required information. For **Snap Redirect URI**, add `https://api.nango.dev/oauth/callback`
        4. Click **Create OAuth App** at the top right.
      </Step>
      <Step title="Obtain your client credentials">
        1. After creating the app, copy the **Snap Client ID** and **Snap Client Secret Key** that Snapchat will generate. You’ll need these when configuring your integration in Nango.
      </Step>
      <Step title="Next">
        Follow the [_Quickstart_](/getting-started/quickstart).
